fareb-e-rah-e-mohabbat ka aasra bhi nahin
main ja raha hun magar koi rasta bhi nahin

har ek kahta hai rah-e-wafa hai na-hamwar
magar khulus se ek aadmi chala bhi nahin

kisi ke ek ishaare pe do-jahan raqsan
mere liye meri zanjir ki sada bhi nahin

ajib turfagi-e-shauq hai ki su-e-adam
gai hai khalq magar koi naqsh-e-pa bhi nahin

ye thik hai ki wafa se nahin lagaw use
magar sitam to yahi hai ki bewafa bhi nahin

koi maqam ho ek aasra to hota hai
wo yun badal gae jaise mera khuda bhi nahin
